I've read this one twice and plan on reading it again. I enjoyed it. Sure there's parts that were a bit annoying, but overall the story was enjoyable and a pleasant distraction.

I know I read it in the "wrong" order, but I still really enjoyed this prequel to the popular Cynster Series. Helena is a proud French noble woman tired of being controlled by the men in her life. Sebastian is an arrogant English duke who has famously vowed never to marry. Put them together and you get a very satisfying historical romance.

It was nice to see an MMC, Sebastian, so openly pursuing the FMC, Helena, in hopes of making her his wife as normally this is done the other way in Historical Romances. Sebastian "My Duchess" Cynster was overbearing, controlling, and possessive, which if you're reading HRs, is something you're not shy of. Helena was also great. Headstrong, assured, and witty; it was fun to read the conversations between her and others.
I enjoyed Stephanie Laurens, and her different point-of-views. The plot was fun to read, and I loved that there wasn't really a villain in the end,just bored powerful men . She did a great job of swapping from scene-to-scene, and making the other characters interesting too.

No me engancho la historia para nada, me aburrí muchísimo y me costó horrores terminarla.
